Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5315 W Wellington Ave in Belmont Cragin, owned by Volodymyr Smoliyanyi, was constructed in 1969 and has experienced relatively few issues over the past seven years compared to similar buildings in the area. The property's record shows only one building code violation during this period, dated February 15, 2021, which remains unresolved as of the latest data, representing the only open violation against the building. The 311 service request history shows a total of 12 documented incidents, with the most recent requests in 2025 including a tree planting request (currently open) and multiple complaints about abandoned vehicles (all closed). Additional 311 service requests from late 2024 involve two dead animal pickup requests, both of which were resolved. Notably, there has been only one building permit issued in the past seven years, which suggests limited recent modifications or improvements to the structure. While the building's records show some interaction with city services, particularly around abandoned vehicles in the vicinity, the number and nature of the service requests and violations do not indicate any ongoing systemic issues with the building itself.

Risk rating

How 5315 W Wellington Ave 2's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of Chicago code enforcement data — building violations, 311 complaint history, environmental enforcement, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that the City of Chicago will find a code violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
5thpercentile
